Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

Dieter Horns mainly investigates Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma ray, Cherenkov radiation and High Energy Stereoscopic System. Dieter Horns usually deals with Astrophysics and limits it to topics linked to HEGRA and Telescope. His Active galactic nucleus, Pulsar, Astroparticle physics and Flare study in the realm of Astronomy connects with subjects such as Flux.

His Astroparticle physics study incorporates themes from Cherenkov Telescope Array and Dark matter. His Gamma ray research includes elements of Compton scattering, Photon, Redshift, Supernova and Spectral line. His Cherenkov radiation research focuses on Photomultiplier and how it connects with Large field of view, Reflector, Pixel and Stereoscopy.

His most cited work include:

  • Design concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA: An advanced facility for ground-based high-energy gamma-ray astronomy (814 citations)
  • An Exceptional Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Flare of PKS 2155-304 (689 citations)
  • Observations of the Crab nebula with HESS (615 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Dieter Horns mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma ray, Cherenkov radiation and Photon. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Astrophysics and Flux in his work. His Astronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Blazar and HEGRA.

The concepts of his Gamma ray study are interwoven with issues in High Energy Stereoscopic System, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Light curve and Redshift. The study incorporates disciplines such as Telescope and Observatory in addition to Cherenkov radiation. His studies in Photon integrate themes in fields like Spectral line and Axion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (81.91%)
  • Astronomy (43.68%)
  • Gamma ray (35.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (81.91%)
  • Gamma ray (35.74%)
  • Cherenkov radiation (26.32%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Dieter Horns spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Gamma ray, Cherenkov radiation, Cosmic ray and Astronomy. Dieter Horns combines subjects such as Spectral line and Photon with his study of Astrophysics. His Blazar study, which is part of a larger body of work in Gamma ray, is frequently linked to Flux, bridging the gap between disciplines.

When carried out as part of a general Cherenkov radiation research project, his work on IACT is frequently linked to work in Calibration, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range, Detector, Hadron, Supernova and Observatory. His Astronomy study combines topics in areas such as Gamma-ray astronomy and Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Acceleration of petaelectronvolt protons in the Galactic Centre (254 citations)
  • H.E.S.S. observations of RX J1713.7-3946 with improved angular and spectral resolution; evidence for gamma-ray emission extending beyond the X-ray emitting shell (92 citations)
  • A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude (88 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

Astrophysics, Gamma ray, Astroparticle physics, Cosmic ray and Astronomy are his primary areas of study. His Astrophysics research includes elements of Spectral line, Cherenkov radiation and Photon. His Cherenkov radiation research includes themes of Gamma-ray astronomy, Observatory and Muon.

His work in the fields of Gamma ray, such as Extragalactic background light, overlaps with other areas such as Flux. In most of his Astroparticle physics studies, his work intersects topics such as High Energy Stereoscopic System. In general Supernova, his work in Supernova remnant is often linked to Charged particle linking many areas of study.
